@jessesingal Interestingly at Vox it was also controversial to point out ways in which men and women are similar https://t.co/ly0ot3fVt9 — PolitiTweet.org

@kdrum The boring literal reason is the building codes are different, but I think the underlying reason is energy is more expensive so they care more about better insulated windows. — PolitiTweet.org

@StefanFSchubert The idea that “everyone” has any opinion at all about the Byzantines seems utopian — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
@ollicarreira It’s a state issue. It mostly gets ignored because energy is cheaper here, but we should address it nonetheless. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
@ollicarreira Americans normally have “double hung” windows that slide up and down. It’s cheaper to install but worse insulated. — PolitiTweet.org

@kdrum I’m not very bullish on low-income housing programs. What I think is that state governments should set zoning rules. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Tried to tell a neighbor who lives across the alley and has tilt and turn windows that there’s a whole “window Twitter” obsessed with why these are rare in America and he looked at me like I was telling him about Bigfoot. — PolitiTweet.org

The basic question of “which level of government decides” remains relevant https://t.co/nuyQ1tFVnS https://t.co/5qCnGbx00d — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Even in a socialist utopia with no markets and no landlords, where housing is a human right freely provided to all, the same issue exists of mismatch between where people want to live and where the homes are. https://t.co/nuyQ1tFVnS https://t.co/pDPmXSFSIv — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
But lots of people have decided they are hardened enemies of simple supply/demand models and they don’t like YIMBYs because we talk about supply and demand. Today’s post is the case for land use reform without any of that. https://t.co/nuyQ1tY4C0 — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Here’s a simple supply/demand chart showing that quotas restrictions on oil producers transfer money from consumers to producers but also cause huge deadweight loss to the overall economy. You can apply the same “Econ 101” logic to zoning. https://t.co/nuyQ1tFVnS https://t.co/TBgKTprmn9 — PolitiTweet.org

@kdrum I think so? The odds of getting caught with illegal guns went down so people started carrying more which made it more dangerous to *not* be carrying so you get more and more illegal gun-carrying and shooting. — PolitiTweet.org

@DelanoSquires @wil_da_beast630 @willwilkinson The vast majority of the increase in murders happened during Trump's term, so Biden's cancellation of Trump initiatives can't have retroactively caused it. — PolitiTweet.org

@wil_da_beast630 @willwilkinson But there haven't been any budget cuts in DC to reverse — and beyond that you don't seem to have any specific directions. Neither Councilmember Pinto nor Mayor Bowser have been demonizing police officers. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
@wil_da_beast630 @willwilkinson What "specific stupid crap"? I feel like you think I'm playing some weird game here but I'm being achingly sincere — what should I ask my DC Council member to do? — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
@wil_da_beast630 @willwilkinson That's why I'm asking you for your policy recommendation, but instead of offering one you keep saying various people who aren't you are bad and have bad ideas. Fair enough. But what should be done? — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
@emre_mayo @wil_da_beast630 @willwilkinson But this is what I find puzzling. They did nothing wrong and they weren't disciplined (because they didn't do anything wrong). If they'd been wrongly fired or something we could say "don't do that." But they weren't — they were cleared! https://t.co/2yClojH8RI — PolitiTweet.org

@wil_da_beast630 @willwilkinson I'm not trolling and I'm not trying to be argumentative. I would like my city to become safer. I would like to tell my elected officials "please do X, Y, and Z which I have reason to believe will reduce crime." What should I tell them to do? — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
@wil_da_beast630 @willwilkinson But you haven't given the answer. Like you, I would like the police to end the strike and return to their previous level of effort. What I am asking for is specific steps that mayors can take to cause that to happen. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
@wil_da_beast630 @willwilkinson But you haven't given the answer, this is what I keep saying. Like you, I would like the police to resume their previous level of effort. But what specific steps should the mayor take to get them to do that? — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
@wil_da_beast630 @willwilkinson What should Donald Trump have done in 2020 to prevent this huge murder surge? What should Joe Biden do today in 2022 to reverse it? What tools does Mayor Bowser have at her disposal here in DC? I personally would really like to see less killing. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
@wil_da_beast630 @willwilkinson See this is what's frustrating to me. We started trying to discuss a policy problem — what can we do to reverse the killing spree that was unleashed by reduced policing effort in 2020. But without coming up with any concrete suggestions, we're now spinning off into other fights. — PolitiTweet.org
